Domestic Violence and Child Abuse Will Rise During Quarantines. So Will Neglect of At-Risk People, Social Workers Say.

Isolation is deadly. I shudder to think about people in already stressed families in hiding right now.
What happens to someone who might normally be able to secretly get abortion pills without an abusive partner knowing, for example? A lot harder to hide if youβre also hiding from ICE.

Need to stress that, like the Pretti killing, this terrorism is happening in extremely mixed use residential neighborhoods. Cafes and restaurants just down the street. The St. Paul Curling Club that's put out so many Olympians competing *this week* is like two blocks away.

My sense of Minnesota today is that thereβs less tear gas and the same amount of unlawful detention, destruction of families, loss of livelihood, people in hiding.
There is less tear gas at places like Lake and Lyndale, so itβs not making news.

Last time I saw MPD they were aggressively tearing down a homemade roundabout. And I didnβt see this personally but later that day they came back in SWAT gear to tear down the materials for a roundabout since the residents had already put it away for the night.

Weβre never going to turn our backs on our neighbors and stop exercising our constitutional rights. No amount of meetings with Tom Homan or anyone in the Trump administration will change our communityβs resolve.

Nazi concentration camp prisoner population by year
ICE is currently holding around 80,000 detainees. Nazi Germany didn't reach this number in its formal camp system until 1942, nine years after seizing power and three years into the war.

I hate to say this but I think things are just going to keep getting increasingly chaotic and morally shocking before this tidal wave of sadism finally recedes

Minneapolis council member Chavez: We are not going to rest until ICE operation ends
While DHS said that it removed about 700 agents from the 3,000 that were in the state last week, Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez says he hasnβt seen much change on the ground.
We arenβt resting until ICE is out of MN. We arenβt stopping until ICE is completely abolished. They want us to bend the knee so they can continue separating families, but we wonβt be doing that. Weβre going to win, and itβs bc of the resiliency of our neighbors.

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we wonβt be intimidated and we wonβt stop until DHS is abolished.
